ssh is trying to resolve your bindaddress (which could be a hostname)
in the addressfamily of each of the addresses returned by your
resolver.  This obviously doesn't work for IPv4, but ssh doesn't know
this until the getaddrinfo fails, generating the error.

Since only want IPv6 you should also set "AddressFamily inet6" where
you set your IPv6 BindAddress.
